EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by the talented photographer Freddie Reed in May 1970, we are transported back to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The image captures the legendary rally driver Paddy Hopkirk and his co-driver Tony Nash taking a leisurely stroll along the picturesque beachfront. As they pause to enjoy their surroundings, their attention is drawn towards an astonishing sight - their third driver Neville Johnston showcasing his remarkable talent of walking on his hands. The sheer joy and amazement on Hopkirk's face is evident as he watches Johnston effortlessly defy gravity with each step. It becomes clear that this extraordinary feat is not just a passing trick but something Johnston can do for extended periods of time. This unexpected display adds an element of fun and excitement to what was already a memorable day in Rio. Amidst all the action, our eyes are also drawn to a local tea seller standing on the right side of the frame. His presence serves as a reminder that life continues around these incredible moments; ordinary people going about their daily routines while witnessing extraordinary events unfold before them. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of adventure and spontaneity that defined the 1970s era. It reminds us that even amidst high-stakes races and intense competition, there is always room for laughter and awe-inspiring displays of human ability. Freddie Reed has masterfully captured this fleeting moment in history, allowing us to relive it through his lens once more.
